32 Linden Avenue is perched high up on a hill overlooking a
small town in western Pennsylvania and is the heart of this
evocative journey through the author's fragmented memories of
Appalachia. The murmuring of the women, the love and everyday lives
of those living in the hard hill country and then the drenching of
those memories in the deep hushed and hovering Protestant faith of
that time and that place is woven into a spell drenched in the
detailed memories of everyday life. A child, temporarily separated
from her father and mother and brother by fate, found magic and
succor, and most of all enduring love.
The young mother sees the same magic through older eyes and in
the midst of the pain of her mothers final illness and bitter
frustrated life is, as when a child, comforted by her family from
the hill. Haunted throughout her life, the author sees all this
from even older eyes and vows that her children, and now
grandchildren, shall not be deprived of the chance to seize meaning
and beauty and, thus, comfort from these remembrances.
